FOREIGNER Tries Balut!! (Filipino Street Food) 🇵🇭

[@wynncruz1467]

This is what I like about this man. So down for everything. The interaction with the locals are the best. Mr Congeniality award goes to ALI!

[@ArchieS-id8lf]

Balut comes out usually after sunset and you don't look for them, the vendors who are mobile, they'll appear especially near pubs and bars. Sabaw means soup, drink that first before eating the foetus. Don't nibble, eat in one go except for the hard bit. Personally, I don't get adding vinegar, just add salt, it literally tastes like chicken soup. Locals usually wash it down with ice cold san mig beer.

[@megmaylad9859]

Agree :)

[@DennisD619]

I concur.

[@rho992]

If you are washing it down, why eat ? PS : I am not against anything..but I don't get eating something that you are forcefully swallowing

[@jelbertdalagan7054]

Your amazing dude Filipino's proud of u watching this video eating Balut!

[@nimfatharnish1881]

Ali you should have sprinkle a little bit of salt and a little bit of vinegar that's how you eat balut it's been almost 50 years since I had that

[@foodthoughtii4189]

Ali ma Men... youre the men. You tried the balut! Amazing. Keep going. Your content of living and eating what the locals do is superb! Youre one of a kind. 💪💪💪

Balut is considered as an aphrodisiac and Filipinos traditionally do 'it' in the evening. That's why it is usually sold during night time....hahaha

[@vision2096]

King Ali 🤴 mingling with the locals and those street food !! You shine where ever you go 🥰. I see the Sire there with you too. What a pair. Great content King Ali 🙏❤

[@carloallenv04]

Hi if you guys are still in the Philippines you should try other Filipino foods like adobo, sinigang and dinuguan. This way you guys will truly understand the foods of the filipino. Hope you guys try some of it.

[@BloodFrostX]

Yes! Dinuguan is another challenge 🙏 but that's pork and we're not sure about food restrictions

[@Jesuisdixie]

He cannot eat pork like sinigang and dinuguan. He can eat adobo if it is Chicken Adobo

[@theresabatuyong2388]

Don't put vinegar and salt. Eat it and drink the broth as is. U r complaining about the vinegar which u should not have put

[@kashmirimarez5500]

Chicken dinuguan perhaps.

[@PROLIFIC_TRAVELS]

I've tried it all myself

[@jjp844]

Balut are for amateurs! If you're really feeling adventurous, then go for the fried day-old chick. It's not for the feint of heart. My hat's off for going thru that. Always ingat on your adventures.

[@Stormvue]

People are always freaked about balut cause of the “bird” inside it. It’s an egg with delicious soup with a developed bird inside. They think it’s cruel to eat such things. But then again people eat veal and lamb which is baby cow and sheep and nobody frown upon that

[@amreshfanpage5407]

Yeahh classic Americans , they mostly say that things,,

[@jcej6197]

Ali, you the great adventurer !!! nice content man !

[@TheTechiePinoyFoodie]

So cool of you to even try it. Balut is an acquired taste, just like kimchi or durian or wasabi. But I like it so yeah.

[@Jay.Rod.Car.NorthernCali2005]

It looked like you chose the dry one. You should have the one with the "S" Sabaw which means there's a little portion of broth/soup inside the shell. "They" say the best way to do it is to take the whole thing in your mouth all at once. But I'm never gonna try it! Hahaha 😂😂😂

[@jingaustria]

To be honest, I do not want vinegar with balut because it enhances the taste of the broth and all you could taste is the vinegar. A bit of salt would do.

[@RawContent]

Ali- Love yours and Harry's videos. Please know when you Say Salamat Po. The PO is a sign of respect but for people older than you. All good and keep up the awesome work!! Love you guys!!!

[@christiansalazar1161]

It's ok. I'm a Filipino and I don't like balut. But on the side note, you ate it wrong. You sip the soup first. Then you add salt and vinegar to the yellow and chick before eating it.

[@belledelrosario9136]

wow your brave enough to eat the balut...harry should eat also....

[@sanchezemerson8]

The correct way to eat is you drink the soup after opening it. dont put the salt and vinegar yet. after drinking the soup, only then you put a little salt (and a little vinegar if you want ). you can skip the white part which is the hard one

[@catmandu6434]

The 'S' on the egg shell means "sabaw"...which means it has broth or juice...and it's not dry inside. "Penoy" is just all egg yolk...without the undeveloped chick. The sauce is better mixed with fish sauce & vinegar. "Balut" is known to be rich in protein and builds stamina...and worth a full meal...you are wiser to have tried it bcoz of your open mind...good travels & good eats my friend!😀

well u did the balut, get harry to have soup number 5 !!! i like the way u are more adventurous and think u will really enjoy the provinces and interactions there. the cities and malls are ok but theres something special drinking tuba and eating kinilaw and things amongst locals without the hotel comforts. as a brit getting used to using tabo and some things made it an immersive experience not just another hotel/holiday thing.

Damn that was a bad Voice cracked brotha! 😂 Iloveyourvids men @11:11

[@SelwynClydeAlojipan]

You initially put in too much vinegar. Just a few drops at a time. The balut's soup is basically like a chicken soup. Try to get a balut that is as young as possible to avoid getting one with feathers and a beak. The penoy is better because it's similar to eating a soft-boiled egg. Another thing to try is the one-day-old chicks fried in orange batter. Those are the ones you'll have to eat with all the bones and internal parts.
